Zooey Deschanel. I mean, she's okay I guess, but what's with the obsession? And if I hear one more person use the work 'adorkable' I'm going to punch them in the throat.

i love zooey. i can't explain why. i feel inexplicably drawn to her. it's out of my control. it's her voice? her bangs? her dresses? she is like an adorable cartoon of a person. and maybe a cartoon of a person is sometimes more attractive and likable than an actual person.

i would never use that word though.

I think the thing that bothers me is the whole persona of "look at me in my glasses, I'm such a geek! See how awkward I am? It's embarrassing!" as if we should ignore the fact that she's really pretty, with perfectly coiffed hair and professional makeup.

I loved "The Believer," "Lars and the Real Girl," "Blue Valentine," "Crazy, Stupid Love," "Drive" and "The Ides of March." I even really enjoyed "The Notebook." Yeah, I'm man enough to say it.

Drive is so overrated! Seriously, I thought it was ok, but a bit pretentious. And everyone I know thinks it a work of genius.

This is a great thread. It feeds my bitter curmudgeon interior. Torque, you're my soul mate.

I still remember how pissed off I was as a kid to learn that rainbows were a mirage and no matter how far I walked, I still could never get to one and if I ever got there, I could never touch it. Thanks, rainbows. You were my first taste of disillusionment.

Almost as bad as oatmeal raisin cookies that look like chocolate chip cookies.

I want to get it because so many people irl rave about him, but I just don't. I even watched Skyfall on opening weekend with some friends hoping that would spark something, but nope. I think part of it was that I hated him in Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and just haven't been able to shake it.

Why did I hate him in Girl? I actually didn't like the entire movie. Thought the Swedish version was much better, although I'm hoping there is an American version of the 2nd/3rd books since the Swedish versions were both made for tv movies and I felt let down after having read the books.

I couldn't watch Girl because it was so rapey.... Maybe that was part of it?

Oh and I guess Daniel Craig is Ok? I mean, I don't find him disgusting. I'd say the same for Christian Bale. I don't view either of them as anything special.

And then there are pies. Sure you fill it with yummy stuff but then you put it in a crust. I just want the yummy stuff.

Frosting. Frosting is getting in the way of my cake.

Coffee. Sure you keep me caffeinated but you taste like crepe. Then you add flavored stuff, then you taste like flavored crepe. If you have enough soy and sugar to cover the taste, its ok. I'd rather have a strongly flavored chai.

Big Bang Theory?Some people seem to really like this. I have tried to watch it. It is very not funny, and very uncomfortable to even watch, I find it so bad. Is there some hysterical irony that it is so bad that makes it good that I'm not getting? And I did really want to like it because I was a big fan of Johnny Galecki in Roseanne.

Oh god yes. Everyone I know raves about it (and I mean everyone), but I just do not get it at all (and I like a lot of stuff that is generally considered awful).

Absolutely agree about On The Road and Catcher In The Rye. And now my pet hate (and I hesitate to say this): Meryl Streep.

All this and you don't like the Princess Bride too?

Its like we're the exact opposite people.

I love crust, frosting, coffee, Princess Bride and Daniel Craig. We could be like Jack Sprat and his wife.

We are :) How do you feel about pasta?

Pasta/Noodles. I eat you because my husband really likes you but if I never ate pasta, I'd be perfectly happy. (There are some minor exceptions to this like Chow Fun)
